Newest Skein

Spent my day yesterday spinning up a skein of mixed fibers; one ply is coopworth dark (compliments of Petra when I purchased my wheel), and the other ply is a mix of gold/yellow with deep red. I hung it to dry on the cloths line after setting the twist in it overnight.

It is approximately 150yards and weighs 5 ounces. I think it turned out good. This is a two-ply that I am quite proud of. Looks like great sock yarn.

Knitting, Spinning, Dyeing

I would love to be able to find an old spinning wheel; I am sure that someone has one lying around in their basement that is just collecting dust. Let me know if you do. Email me... murrmadeknits@gmail.com
